Pinhole DSLR Photos

I am a fan of the old pinhole cameras so I took a few with a DSLR pinhole mount

Cool effect. I didn't know you could get a pinhole mount for a DSLR.

Made it...it works the same way a film pinhole camera does.

Definitely cool pictures. I would like to do something like that for my DSLR. I see the pictures of what you used to make it. Could you provide some details on exactly how you crafted it. It would be appreciated.

(1) body cap with hole drilled in it
(2) used filters (need to be same size
-one filter glued to glass and one screwed on to hold wash/gasket/tin foil with pinhole in place
(1) rubber gasket w/center hole (needs to fit inside filters)
(1) fender washer w/center hold (holds tin foil)
(1) piece of tin foil with small hole in it
(1) needle for making hole

look at the picture and you will get the idea

Hey you took my camera


nice pics

Awsum pictures pictures brother, is that the Golden Gate Bridge ? I am certainly going to try that I really like the effect it looks fantastic.

Thanks and ROC on Kevin :)

Nice effect. Call me silly but can you get the same effect using Photoshop? Are the examples you show without any digital darkroom editing? Just curious. :cool:

You can make your own pinhole lens with a lens cap and a web search will show you several commercially available pinhole lenses / filters in case you want to just purchase one. A particularly good link is shown below which explains how the pinhole effect works and includes a good primer on focal length and exposures. There are many other similar sites that are well worth reviewing. Search with google or your favorite search engine on pinhole cameras or pinhole photography, etc. Have fun!

Inspired by s2000's initial post, I made a pinhole lens for my Nikon D50 DSLR today. After fiddling around with exposures for an hour or so, I was able to produce a few images in the house this evening. (See below) Tomorrow I venture outside to try some landscapes and see what this lens can do.

Great Work...

Nice to see someone taking a step back in photography.
